I know, but its still funny that the XBOne sold more than iconic N64 and Gamecube combined. I know this has to be seen in context, that’s why I said “just for furn”. Also this brings into perspective how insane the PS2 sold, where gaming was in less mainstream position than today. It was Sony with the PS1 and 2 who made gaming mainstream. The PS3 came out 6 years after the 2, while the Switch has a longer period of time without its successor (currently 7, we enter in 8th) and still could not catch up. It’s crazy how the PS2 sold.
Let’s see how many units are sold during holiday season. Also if the new Nintendo console gets out, then the old Switch will get (hopefully) a discount and it sells a lot more. Keep in mind the PS2 and DS sold even after their successor came out. Wikipedia lists the numbers: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_best-selling_game_cons…
<span style="color:#323232;">PlayStation 2 Home Sony 2000 >155 million
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Nintendo DS Handheld Nintendo 2004 154.02 million
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Nintendo Switch # Hybrid Nintendo 2017 143.42 million
</span>
And just for fun, people call the Xbox One a failure, but look and compare to some legendary consoles:
<span style="color:#323232;">Xbox One Home Microsoft 2013 ~58 million
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Super Nintendo Home Nintendo 1990 49.1 million
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Nintendo 64 Home Nintendo 1996 32.93 million
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Nintendo GameCube Home Nintendo 2001 21.74 million

Agreed. I also want to add that this is not a mass market product, plus its not current gen either. So Nintendo does probably not care at all, in addition to what you already said.
Why shouldn’t it be allowed? The company does not violate any copyright, trademark or patent. Otherwise Nintendo would have sued them for their similar project, but for Game Boy, the Analogue Pocket.
We don’t know. If I guess, it will be a full priced 69 Dollar game with 100 Dollar special edition for preorder. Other than that, Ubisoft is desperate and they said they won’t do this microtransaction shit they did before, so the integrity of the actual game is kept. I believe it when I see it, but that’s what they said. They even want to release it on Steam without the Ubisoft launcher on PC. Hell thats an improvement!
If the game truly has no bullshit, then I might check it out. Didn’t play an Assassins Creed since Black Flag on the Xbox 360. And I like Japan, so good oppurnity to hit me.
Sure, but how do you explain then Persona 5 Royal then on place 5 then? Final Fantasy 7 Remake got higher ratings, I think sold more and was surely more popular on PC, right? Red Dead Redemption 2 was also released on PC when it anywhere near its initial relevance. Metal Gear Solid 3 or Mass Effect Legendary Edition is even worse, because those games are much much older.
Also Portal behind Slay the Spire? Team Fortress 2 34 places behind Hunt: Showdown 1896? So strange! These Valve games were revolutionary and defined their genre with huge number of players and fanbase.
My point is just, that the given argumentation here doesn’t hold up to me. But that is what you get if you ask people for their opinion. It’s just that and it will always surprise you.
BTW FreeTube blocks YouTube ads too, plus it has integration for SponsorBlock. In case you are not familiar with it, its a community driven extension where Sponsor seqments (which are not detected as ads) are then marked or jumped over. And it has two modes you can switch to, the native mode (which Google still gets your IP but works most of the time. And secondly the Invidious mode, which breaks from time to time but Google doesn’t know anything.
I have an exception for YouTube with uBlock Origin. Because at that time when it started I did not know if account could get banned or not for using it. Since I’m used to watch on alternative clients, I leave it as it is now.
I use FreeTube client, which does not have Google account support (that’s one of the reasons to use it actually). But just for commenting and interacting with others, I still open Firefox to just discuss. I hate YouTube, but this is worth it to me.
To be honest, I’m not against “Free Speech” in the sense of not sharing. Everyone should have their own opinion. So from my view, despite my personal dislike of it (I was watching it for half a year), I’m not against of sharing.
Ah, I see a man of culture as well. :D Yes, thank you. :-) I like interacting with the community in Brodie’s comment section as well. Pretty cool people. Its often just a joke or meme, but sometimes I get involved in more thoughtful discussions as well. As strange as it sounds for YouTube comments. lol. Good to see you here as well.
